A friend of mine has a Dual PII 400 box in the cellar which is his
workstation.
Then he has bought a K6-2 500 and is using it at 200 MHz, so it
doesn't need a fan.
The power supply fan is silent enough.
Since this K6-2 box netboots and mounts his root via Full-Duplex
Fast-Ethernet from the Workstation, where all processes are started as well,
he has a silent, but fast workstation.
And, btw, he is watching TV via fxtv over the network w/o any problems
(AND can work in the meanwhile)
